I was walkin' home from school on a cold winter day.
G                      Em          C          C     D
Took a short cut through the woods and I lost my way.
G                   D    Em            C
  It was gettin' late,   and I was scared and alone.
G             Em7                 C      C           D
But then a kind old man took my hand     and led me home.
C                 Gsus2              C                D
  Now mama couldn't see him, oh, but he was standing there.
    C                Gsus2               C            D
And I knew in my heart        he was the answer to my prayers.

Oh, I believe there are   angels among us,
G           Em7         C            D
  Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
             G       Em7   C                D
They come to you and me in our darkest hours

To show us how to live,

     G                   D               Em7         C
When life held troubled times and had me down on my knees,
        G               Em7          C                D
There's always been someone to come along and comfort me.
  G                  D          Em             C
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand,
  G                 Em7               C         D
A phone call from a friend just to say, “I understand.”

But ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road
     C                   Gsus2          C             D
That someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope.
